Civilization Game

Rod and Cielo breathed and watched what was happening from afar. I want to see how many loud men shout in the house, and Tia is being dragged out from behind them.

"Hey! What a travesty!"

Tia was not alone in the house. Tiny elves glowing from the body are being held out by men's evil hands.

'Fairy……!'

Lord's eyes widen. Fairies were once fairies who lived in Wigdrasil with the Elves, known to be extinct in the world of Chaos.

"No! No!"

Tia shouts in a split voice.

"I don't care what you do, please! Please, just as much as they are!"

Baaak! Tia rolls the floor with a hard kick. Her white complexion is stained with dirt. The laughter of the men howls in the air.

"You can't help yourself to violence, can you?"

"Bring them all out!"

The fairies come out of the house one after the other, clutching the men's hands. The men open a large sack and begin to tuck the fairies into it. The children's cries of horror echoed like echoes.

"Oh, you're so noisy! Let's break a man's waist by example."

Fairies whisper in silence because of the gentleman's sloppy threats. The sack that they went in becomes more and more breathtaking, and Tia stares at it with a dejected look.

"Oh, what are you doing! The wise man must enter!"

The men came and fastened Tia's arms and legs, and firmly twisted her mouth cloth to prevent the sound from leaking out. She then flashes her body and pushes her into another sack. Two sacks of Tia and the Fairies lie beneath the feet of the men.

"Come on, move cheaply!"

"We're done here. Let's get out of here!"

Watching him, Lord bites his lip.

A slaver who probably owns human trafficking. Tia, the target of the Elves, looked at the fairies and said, "What a travesty! I said," It's almost certain. In the slave trade, the Elves were an unmatched quality product. The flying fairies emitted a mysterious light from their bodies and called it a price for its rarity.

"Chielo, can you fight?"

Lord turns and asks.

"Chielo is fragile... It's a C-plus. How many brothers...?"

"Class D."

"Oh, I'm going to win."

She chuckles and pats Rod on the head.

'... Tsk. It's kind of cute.'

Lord says not to fret, and grabs her head lightly, then grabs the dagger and thinks. Kidnapping a speckled talent, we had to stop it somehow.

'But…….'

Rod squeezes his dagger. It was not a good time to fight now. There are too many hostiles, and if there's too much noise, the Elven Guards will be here soon. Knowing the truth in the Kingdom of Alveheim can be very troubling.

I'm thinking about what Lord would do....

"Oh, isn't that the adventurer couple I saw earlier? What are you doing here?"

The two people wink and look up at the sound. The fruit merchant I saw on the street earlier was smiling on the trees.

"Chielo! Stay away!"

Rod shouts. The fruit merchant leaps down from the tree, wielding his dagger, and Rod sprints out quickly, holding it overhead.

Caaang! Two daggers burst out of the air with a loud hiss. The fruit merchant shouted.

"There's a suspicious group here!"

"What?"

"Seize it!"

The men start pouring in. The arm of the rod holding the dagger trembles.

'…… damn it, this guy!'

Lord takes a few steps back as he pulls away the fruit merchant's dagger. It was just one crash, but my arm was hurting so much. It was never the level of ordinary slavers.

"Self-adventure youth. Are you looking for a way to live?"

He fixes the dagger, gripping and grinning.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you here. That's what this floor job is all about, isn't it? Don't be so grumpy."

"Grrrgh!"

Lord raises his dagger, and the voice of Cielo flies behind him.

"Rod! Get out of the way!"

Rod falls aside as soon as he hears his voice. Glug! As he makes his way, a black flame blazes towards the fruit merchant.

"Oops!"

He leaps to the ground, barely avoiding it. When Chielo's broom was swung again, this time, a black flame fell in front of the men who flew into the curve. Boom, boom! A black flame rises from the roots. She yells at the broom.

"Everybody back off! Curse you if you don't want to live your whole life maimed!"

"Huh, dark magic!"

"How did the Black Wizard get here...?"

The men stagger without crossing the black flame. In this world, dark magic was an unknown force, and it was natural for ordinary people to fear it. Chielo must be after it.

While they were in a panic, Chielo approached the side of the gilded road and asked.

"What do I do? Are you going to fight?"

"No, let's get out of here."

Lord has concluded that it is dangerous to continue fighting here. There are many enemies. There are heroes. Above all, the guards are a pain in the ass. They should head to the slavery for business anyway, so it was better to see the tie when they came out of the territory.

"Got it."

Chielo nods without a word.

Now that the direction has been determined, there is no reason to linger. Rod pulls all the round bombs out of his pocket and throws them into the sky. Tear gas spreads in all directions with a thunderstorm.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Hey, what's this?"

The men groan and retreat behind the smoke.

After the smoke lifted a little later, the two of them had already disappeared.

"You're acting weird."

The fruit merchant spits and pulls the dagger in. A man in the crowd approached and said,

"Are those the guys you were talking about?"

"Yes. I've been asking around about the sage. He even asked me where I was. There's only one reason they'd be interested in her."

"Well done. As soon as the competition gets here, we better move fast." I've already bribed the guards. "

The fruit merchant nods once and turns away.

"I don't care if they missed it or not. Let's get out of here before the guards come!"

"Yes!"

*

Lord and Chielo return to the village.

As they walk down the street, you can see tall elf guards rushing towards the roots.

'Applause to police organizations who are always one step behind, everywhere.'

Still, thanks to their incompetence, Lord thought it was a relief to avoid exposing their identities.

"Brother Rod."

"Huh?"

"Is your arm okay?"

Lord slowly raises his right arm. The arm trembles as if it hasn't fully recovered from the collision damage yet.

"It's okay. You'll be fine in a minute."

Rod sticks his hand in his pocket and says,

I was in a hurry to check on the status, but the fruit merchant was probably better powered than Rod himself. An unparalleled opponent.

It was getting late one day and it was getting late at night, so the two of them entered the appropriate inn and booked a room. And there I decided to discuss my future plans.

"I was going to go quietly this time, but things got so big again... Am I really causing trouble...?" "

Lord sighs deeply and places the card on the floor. After the meal, the two of them gathered in the room and were playing a card game that they had borrowed from the innkeeper.

"So what are you going to do now? What are we gonna do if they get out?"

"Don't worry about that part."

Lord said as he regained his cool.

"It's clear they live on human trafficking, and it's a pretty big slaver when it comes to numbers. And if we're going to sell Tia and the Fairies, we need to get to a slave farm outside the territory."

Rod said so, putting the hand's lobbyist card on the floor and bringing the merchant card to Chielo.

"I see. Now that there's been an abduction in the territory, it's time to secure the gates, so they won't be able to move right away?" "

Chielo deals the 'Barbarian Card' and removes the stolen merchant card. Rod frowns.

"That's right. They'll be safe until they get out. Nowadays, nobles hate it so much that the" precious item "that will become their own is profaned by those who have no roots. We can't be careless for the merchantability."

"Oh, you know about slavers, don't you?"

Rod smiles bitterly at the question.

"There once was a slave market man among my enemies. I dug up his weaknesses and investigated him thoroughly."

From the beginning, those slavers must have come to the root to kidnap and sell Elves, including Tia. The easiest place on the continent to find Elves of immense value would be this land where Humans and Elves coexist.

Chielo lays her face wide on the neatly piled bridge.

"But, Chimayan? Once they're out there, there's no way to catch them."

"So I'm going to mobilize an army. I'm glad we're this close to Abyss."

Chielo tilts his head.

"Really?"

"Yes, I mean it."

"Bringing an army into the realm of Alvehem, 'Declare War'?"

"There are many kinds of armies in the Abyss. Among other things..."

Lord gives the barbarian a shout on the floor.

"I have an army that's not responsible for trespassing on foreign soil."

"Ain't there an army like that?"

"Of course."

The rod lowers the hand so that the back of the card can be seen for a moment and pulls out the communication modifier. The crystal ball shivered and gave off a blue light, and soon a man in uniform appeared.

"Thank goodness. It's the neighbouring country, so there's no wavelength. '

"Your Majesty!"

The man at the crystal ball who recognized Lord pays his respects.

"I'll make this quick because I need to save my magic. Tell Anylox."

Lord gives the order, and the man nods and says he'll report the results soon. The rod has been powered off before the crystal ball has run out of power. I've done everything I can with this now. I had to leave the rest in the sky.

"Oh, is that it?"

That's what Chielo asked, and she shoved her lobbyist card across the floor. Then, as he attempts to retrieve Lord's merchant card, Lord quickly grabs her hand.

"Wait, stop moving!"

"Well, what is it!"

"That's against the rules. Here, take a look at the host's manual. The spy card says it can stop the lobbyists from attacking."

Lord says so, smiling.

"Now, I was wrong about the rules openly. As I said before, the Handicap..."

Chielo grabs the hand held by Lord and grabs it. Then he squirmed and cried.

"That's too much. Chielo doesn't know how hard that is."

"……."

Rod turns his gaze away from all of her mirthless gaze.

'Dammit. I hate myself for feeling cute even though I know it's an act.'

Finally, Lord sighs and opens his mouth.

"Okay. First round... make no mistake next time." "

"Yay!"

Chielo quickly fixed the card before Lord changed his mind. He also put down a piece of road and said,

"Eight rounds is over, right? It's 20 points, so my victory...."

"Chielo is 22 points. Yep! I won!"

"What, what? No way!"

Lord looks at her card with a puzzled face. Chielo pointed to the manual with her finger.

"Check out the host's documentation. The cardholder adds an extra point."

"... Khh, khh."

Rod drops his head. It was an inevitable defeat.

"You knew the rules! What don't you know?"

Rod stares at you. He didn't even know he was playing the lobbyist card before, but it was his intended play. It should have been handicapped as well.

Chielo winked and said.

"When a girl gets too nice, she's not very attractive, is she?"

"…… do you think it becomes a defense for treason?"

She claps her hands with a smile.

"All right, all right, the loser goes to the counter! Go get some more beer!"

'I was just coming to play from the beginning, you punk.'

Lord grumbles and rises from his seat.
